    Hey Everyone and Especially Fellow Chicken Lovers ---- I'm just gonna butt in here because I know of an entire family in Texas who are down with COVID right now, including a special needs toddler (heart condition, Down's). They all live in the same kinda smallish duplex and when one person...

    That's some great advice !! Better to allow the other person to get home and wind down slowly after work.

    .. Economists probably have the least common sense of any profession ! The messages from epidemiologists have been pretty clear. I respect that field of endeavor, which uses science to save lives. However, I'm a lot more interested in insects and parasites than in viruses.. The messages from...

    Economists pretend to be epidemiologists These Economists are know-nothings who jump on stage and pretend to be Epidemiologists while being incredibly ignorant of that field. This is what needs to happen to the Economists who have such big egos that they think they're Epidemiologists. The...

    Haven't you heard of people who "work sick?" Even if the company gives sick leave, there are lots of people who feel like they need to prove that they work hard, so they don't take leave unless they can't get out of bed.

    Lots more industries other than health care will start requiring for their employees to be vaccinated. Anything where safety is important will put the requirement in their health and safety handbook. If you've every had the flu or even a bad cold, remember how your decision-making wasn't the...

    I love my chickens and they have been so awesome during the pandemic. However, the anti-vaxxer movement isn't all peaceful Clapton songs and Kum-Ba-Ya. There are bad deeds happening, including this dude from Maryland who _murdered_ his pharmacist brother because that awful pharmacist was...

    Like someone else said above, I'm tired of the anti-vaxxer nonsense and BS.

    Oh good grief. Just give it up. Quit whining and go get vaccinated so you can fit in with the others at your workplace or whatever. The vaccines ARE safe. If you are so worried about "vaccine safety," just take the Pfizer one that has gone through the FDA approval process. Go ahead and...

    Certainly not. Most unemployed folks live either by themselves or with family members or friends in apartments, houses, townhouses, condominiums, etc. Let me clarify a couple of things. Had a tech glitch last night, which is why I abruptly left the conversation. Getting the COVID shot(s) is...

    I would agree with that. Unfortunately, these agencies will still take care of heavy cigarette smokers even though that should be prohibited as well.

    That's still not fair, especially for a vaccine that takes a grand total of a few minutes to receive.

    The only reason the measles and other vaccines prevent you from getting those diseases is because enough of a percentage of people are usually vaccinated to prevent the diseases from spreading. There was a measles outbreak at Disneyland a few years ago. The measles vaccine didn't "fail." What...

    Grandfathering in the older employees is not fair to the new ones. All employees would need to be vaccinated.

    The problem is that it costs MONEY to do vaccine outreach to a mobile population like unemployed people. It costs a lot of money to find these people and to get them vaccinated. The only easy place you could "catch" an unemployed person who is receiving benefits to give them a shot would...

    I want special vaccination outreach efforts to the unemployed and homeless just as much as you do. (you do know that those efforts cost some money, yes?) That being said, the nurses in your local area who walked out will be probably be on that very same unemployment line really soon. The nurses...
